A schools superintendent speaks with Rolling Stone about the Republican attorney generalā€™s witch hunt to expose ā€œtrans-sanityā€ in public schools

When Indianaā€™s Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita launched Eyes on Education ā€” an official state website that he says seeks to expose ā€œsocialist indoctrinationā€ of students and ā€œtrans-sanityā€ in schools ā€” educators targeted by the site were caught completely off guard.

Paul White is the superintendent of New Prairie United Schools, outside of South Bend. ā€œI found out when it became live,ā€ he tells Rolling Stone. But when he saw why his district was among those highlighted for supposedly unacceptable policies, White was confused. ā€œThe document that they had on their website related to our school system was no longer in use. It had only been used for about 60 days. And it had been replaced for almost two years now.ā€

Rokitaā€™s office has claimed that the ā€œobjectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting childrenā€ that are posted to its site are fully reviewed and verified. But White insists that is hogwash: ā€œThere was zero due diligence,ā€ he says. This lack of considered process may be a pattern.

    That is my absolute intent bc the whiny/bitchy perspective is irrelevant to me.

    W/ that in mindā€¦. I tend to think Iā€™d be OK w/ a teen going a/ it, running away across the border,etc.

    If I canā€™t house them directly, Iā€™d gladly to anything I can to contrib to the same.

    Comes down to three simple words; ā€œHow can I help?ā€

    Not convinced there arenā€™t the most imp 3W in Eng.

    U can be wrong at (your thing, none of my biz) - just donā€™t force it on me.
